I was wondering if the 7200 would make load times faster. would it run hotter than a 5400 and also I think the oem is 8 mb cache would 16 mb be a signifigant inprovemant in perfomance
I have a 60 gb ps3 and I belive my Hard drive failed so if I where to replace it would a 200gb 7200 16mb work? I know the oem is 60gb 5400 but i am not sure about the mb's. any advice will be helpful. Oh yeah if u guys know a good cheap place to puchase on please let me know
Btw my ps3 has been though the ringer. It has been my primary souce for entertainment games,movies downloading all kinds of junk it's been really abused since I have had it
Ok buddy, I did some research for you and I found a site that relates to your problem and has a potential fix. Although not garenteed, this video will show you how. I've also found that most people who have this problem say its the YLOD (though its red..go figure)and they end up having to buy another system.
If you DO get that ps3 up and working, awesome. Go sell it and buy another one and keep the receipt and the box so you can use your warranty in the future. If it breaks, companys have a shrink report they can add the system on andit won't count as a loss. If someone buys the system and it breaks, they can return it. So I see it as a win-win, though its probably looked down upon.
I hope it works out for you bro, I've got a 60GB from launch too. Story's like this scare me. Good luck and maybe message me with what happens.
